4 Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Unique Specialty Course - INTRUCTOR MANUAL 1 WELCOME As an SSI Dive Professional, your goal while teaching the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Unique Specialty Course is to train recreational divers to properly use the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 Personal Dive Computer when performing recreational -- non decompression - dives using air. This program includes an independent online learning session and open water session. The program can be taught by any current and insured SSI Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Specialty Instructor. 1.1 INSTRUCTOR PREREQUISITES To qualify to teach the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver course, an individual must be a Teaching status SSI Open Water Instructor or higher. SSI Instructors may obtain the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Unique Specialty Instructor rating by: 1) Complete online the academic portion of this class by taking the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 Online Class and obtain from DiveComputerTraining.com the certificate of completion, and, 2) Apply directly to SSI by submitting: a) copy of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver INSTRUCTOR MANUAL (this document), b) copy of the certification of completion for the academic portion of this class, and c) SSI Specialty Instructor Verification Form. See Section 6 for detailed instructions on how to enroll in the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 Online Class and on how to obtain the Certificate of Completion of the academic portion of this course. 1.2 HOW TO TEACH THIS PROGRAM When teaching any SSI Program, it is important to focus on the four key ingredients of becoming a successful diver. The SSI Diver Diamond was initially introduced to divers during their open water training Be sure to reinforce the same philosophy during this specialty course. 1.2.1 Proper Knowledge As in all SSI Training Programs, knowledge is power and replaces fears and fantasies with correct information As the SSI Dive Professional you will teach divers the specific knowledge related to the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Specialty. 1.2.2 Proper Skills Repetition is the mother of all skills. As the SSI Dive Professional, you will teach the specific skills and techniques needed to conduct dives in a more challenging environment. 1.2.3 Proper Equipment The safest way for students to dive is in their own personally fitted, high-quality Total Diving System. 1.2.4 Proper Experience Gaining the knowledge, skills and equipment for diving with the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC is only one part of the journey. Going diving is the only way students can gain the actual experience needed to feel completely comfortable and confident with all the equipment and in the environmental conditions that all divers will experience. 1.2.5 Diver Diamond Dialogues and Workshops For your students to become divers, and not just learn to dive, classes should be taught using the Diver Diamond Dialogue and Workshop approach. Each workshop is designed to help facilitate a dialogue between you and your students. Your role as an educator is to teach safe scuba and create need. Using this method allows you to focus the program on the four ingredients of the Diver Diamond ----- proper knowledge, proper skills, proper equipment and proper experience, as well as how each relates to the specific Specialty program.

5 Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Unique Specialty Course - INTRUCTOR MANUAL The most important thing to remember is that people don t sign up for classes because they want to go back to school or listen to you lecture! What they want is for their training to be informative, adventurous and fun! The Diamond Dialogues and Workshops are designed to transform each academic session into a group discussion or field trip. Example; during field trips, use the showroom floor (interactive classroom) to let the students teach you what they have learned and how the equipment is related to their safety and enjoyment in the underwater world. This is a fun way for students to gain knowledge and for you to teach. It s important that you use these Diamond Dialogues and Workshops to create and discuss real-word diving scenarios involving the specific equipment, equipment configuration and usage. 1.3 RECORD KEEPING Before any diver enters the water, the Statement of Understanding, Waiver/Release form, medical release, and personal information section must be completed and signed. After each session, be sure to sign off the logbook. Instructor Note: Minimizing liability and following SSI Standards means showing the Risk Awareness DVD, Part 3 before all SSI Specialties. Medical: A medical statement is required before any in water training. Waivers: To cover you in the unlikely event of an incident, have all students sign an activity waiver for pool, open water and store sponsored trips.

6 Oceanic Pro Plus 2 PDC Diver Unique Specialty Course - INTRUCTOR MANUAL 2 ACADEMIC SESSION 2.1 OBJECTIVE The purpose of this Specialty is to educate scuba divers on the proper use of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 Personal Dive Computer. Dive computers are an integral part of every scuba diver s gear set. In fact, it is hard to imagine a diver choosing not to use a dive computer today. Dive computers have become more reliable and much more sophisticated than they were twenty five years ago, but have divers kept up with the technological advances in today s dive computers? SSI advocates the use of dive computers in their training programs and Oceanic, in full support of this initiative, has partnered with DiveNav to develop multimedia material that facilitates the education of divers planning to use Oceanic Dive Computers in their scuba activities. The Oceanic Pro Plus 2 is an air integrated, console style advanced dive computer designed for air or nitrox mixes up to 50 percent. It features the largest display available and Oceanic patented Air Time Remaining calculations built right in. The Pro Plus 2 constantly monitors the cylinder pressure, compares it with the diver personal air consumption rate and decompression status and calculates the Dive Time Remaining based on the most limiting factor. The Pro Plus 2 uses effective bar graphs to present nitrogen loading, oxygen accumulation, air time remaining and ascent rate. The Pro Plus 2 has two push buttons, features audible alarms, a backlight and the ability to download dive profiles. Now, by integrating the multimedia material developed by DiveNav into this Specialty, SSI offers you -- the Specialty Instructor -- a tool to further the education of your students. 2.1.1 Learning Objectives By the end of the Academic Session, student divers will be able to: o Describe the key indicators on the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe the 4 bar graphs of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Demonstrate how to set the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer for an air, non deco dive o Demonstrate how to set the audible alarm of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Demonstrate how to plan a non deco dive using the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe the normal mode dive screens of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Demonstrate how to review a dive in the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer log-book o Describe the safety stop feature of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe the nitrox mode dive screens of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe how the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer reacts to a fast ascent o Describe the deco mode dive screens of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe the deco procedures of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe the audible alarm of the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer o Describe cleaning and maintenance procedures for the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 dive computer 2.2 INTRODUCTION 2.2.1 Welcome The beginning of the classroom/academic session is important.
